Our Stained Glass Story

The stained glass windows in our sanctuary reflect our church’s focus on Jesus Christ. Installed in the early 1950’s as a part of a major sanctuary renovation, these window images progress clockwise beginning at the right front with Christ’s birth and concluding at the left front with his ascension into heaven. Although the balcony partially obscures two images, their beauty and significance are not diminished.
